How does a home pregnancy test work?A home pregnancy test measures the presence of the hormone (H.C.G.) in your urine. H.C.G. is produced shortly after the embryo attaches to the uterine lining. The hormone then builds up rapidly in your body in the first few days following implantation. This test is capable of detecting pregnancy as early as 4 days before your first day of missed period. The further in to the pregnancy you are the higher the levels of H.C.G. get.

How accurate are these tests?All our tests have proved greater than 99% accurate in laboratory and consumer studies.

When should I do the test?You can take these pregnancy tests as early as 4 days before your first day of missed period and onwards. Tests can be taken at any time of the day.

How long will it take before I can read the result?You can read the results after just 5 minutes.

What is the difference between home tests and those done by a doctor? As we are contracted suppliers to the NHS our tests are used by doctors and hospitals across the UK.

What should I do with my results?If your pregnancy test results are positive, you should consult your doctor to discuss your pregnancy and what steps should be taken next. If your test is negative and you still think you may be pregnant, re-test a few days later.

If I see 2 lines but one is fainter than the other is this a positive result? Yes, if 2 lines appear you are pregnant no matter how faint the lines appear.

Can anything affect the results of these tests?Drinking alcohol, painkillers, oral contraceptives, antibiotics and other common drugs will not affect the result of these tests. Medicines that contain H.C.G. can produce a false positive result.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone I brought these about a year and a half ago, when I found I was pregnant. It told me straight away and where there are 50 of them I managed to do extra texts to be sure. My little one is now 3 months old and I missed a pill so thought I would get these again. (All of my other ones had been split between family and friends so they all had some for a back up check) They came within two days of ordering and luckily enough I am not (otherwise I would of added another one to the 3 kids I already…
